[Elecraft] Elecraft K2 Microphones?

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ Elecraft]

Hi Fred,

The manufacturer of the MH2 microphone discontinued that model and we 
have been looking for a replacement. We are in discussions with another 
manufacturer now for a replacement hand mic, but it will be a couple of 
months before we can get it in.

Fortunately we designed the K2 and KSB2 to use just about any of the 
current microphones from Yaesu/Icom/Kenwood. Our 8 pin microphone 
connector is the industry standard for most rigs and we provide a jumper 
block on the K2 front panel PCB to jumper the pin out of this connector 
to match each microphone. Check out the KSB2 manual on out manual 
download page for a description of how to set the jumpers. See:
